I hope so, one of the most annoying leaks in my personal finance workflow is that I have to use a specific site to bridge between USD and USDC - if I could just send USDC directly from my mercury personal account, that would make life much

congrats on the launch dex! this is a problem that i've already seen come up a dozen times and many companies are building it internally in a variety of different ways. easier to buy vs. build for something like this imo, glad its bein

I'm trying a productized service model for devops (pylonops.com) and working on a community platform for moms with my wife (no URL yet, but soon!)

On pro-rata basis most of these secondary liquidity events as apart of raises are not "retirement" level of liquidity - it's just "safety net" level of liquidity. So I think they would probably not be considered &qu

I'll give you nice-guy points for turning it down - that's a very principled position to take when that much money is sitting in front of you and all you have to do is say "yes" I think your intuition on #2 is right - pr

I had no intention of posting this to HN (someone I don't know posted it!) and also didn't expect more than the 10 people I shared it with to actually read it - no vote bait intended! I'm happy to take your feedback on a bett

I'm glad I waited for the dust to settle on the battlefield before taking a look at the comments - agreed, super entertaining! haha

I'd be asking the same question, it's a fair criticism. I wrote this expecting 10 people to read it and I wrote it as a part of a writer's feedback group. I'm just a random guy who has worked at a lot of startups, nothin

I could not agree more - I still have no idea why 90 days is the standard. It also exploits people who are ignorant about equity compensation more than people who are not - which I think is even worse.

I don't know if I agree - but I'm open to being wrong. I can't recall many scenarios where I thought someone was a strong fit at 3 months but a terrible fit at 12 months. I can probably think of a couple of scenarios for 3 mo

We allow early-exercise too but I (possibly, incorrectly) assumed that this was the standard for newly incorporated startups - at least within the last 2-3 years it has become significantly more common. "secondary sales restricted only

I was being generous - if there are 3 cofounders and you let one of your early employees get in the 2-3% range - it might be closer to 10x - but you're right that the majority of the time it's between 20x and 50x, sometimes even m

Thank you for letting me know about this - I searched for other tender offers or liquidity for employees of WeWork and couldn't find anything (and the 2 former WeWork employees I know joined in late 2019 / 2020 - so they had a pre

This is the reason I didn't check the comments until a couple of days later - I didn't expect anyone to read this and I also figured everyone would be pissed haha - the response is more mellow than I expected for a semi-controvers

I've noticed that too, especially in the gi compared to boxing. Lots more doctors / lawyers / engineers training in the gi. I think it's because we're all weak and need the grips to slow people down, haha. Well let

/r/bjj is my favorite, it has the perfect balance of extremely useful discussion and knowledge sharing along with some percentage of shitposting to keep it interesting.

I still don't see where the savings of time come in. What you lose in "ops" you gain in configuration and assuming you don't have eidetic memory that has a time cost.

by stefantheard 8y ago
that's why I said "or non obvious" I'm not totally sold on this saving time but I guess it could be argued depending on the expertise of the developer

by stefantheard 8y ago
ah I see, yikes. I agree with you. this is optimizing for some non existent problem (or at least a non obvious problem)

How do you go directly from client to database with nothing in the middle while being unable to trust the client?

this was my realization too when I first started hearing about IF several years back.. "I do this already, but on accident" I have never eaten breakfast in my adult life. I eat once at 11:00AM for lunch, then again at either 6:00P

I didn't know this, thank you for mentioning it. I shop at Kroger pretty often and have never considered buying cheese or charcuterie there since it seemed like it might be bad, guess I was quite a ways off the mark.

Also from Houston. Giving distances is almost meaningless in this city 2.8 miles away could be 20 minutes or it could be 3 minutes, so time is really the only accurate measure.

I have also noticed a particular venom toward aikido in particular from people who train modern martial arts. I think this comes from the high level of arrogance associated with aikidoka (true or not, it is associated). It's frustratin

It should be stated that it there are PLENTY of questions about the effectiveness of Krav Maga. Any martial art that cannot be trained at high intensity against a resisting opponent should be looked upon with a healthy amount of skepticism.

by stefantheard 8y ago
You should take a look at Rokas Leo's journey on youtube. I feel his journey is identical to what any open minded aikidoka will go down eventually. He trained for 13 years before beginning his journey and only recently got to the tail

Same here, I would instantly become a "vegan" if this were an option. I really enjoy food (it's a massive part of my culture, family, and childhood) and have been indoctrinated with all the flavors of meat. Although intellect

That would be so meta and craptacular. It must be done.
